Why aren the ReMixes categorized by genre, i.e. techno, jazz, orchestral, etc.?
OC ReMix has no intentions of categorizing pieces by genre. We’ve discussed this matter several times – what it boils down to is a feeling that: • There are many pieces that don’t fit nicely into genres or have multiple genres, and putting them in “miscellaneous” and “multiple” categories would be kind of lame; and • Part of the purpose of the site is to open people’s minds (and ears) to new horizons. Try everything. If all you want to do is download Square techno, so be it, but you’ll be missing out on tons of great songs. We’ve decided not to implement a system that would encourage that kind of navigation. A third reason could potentially be that djpretzel would feel lonely having the only piece in the hillbilly genre, but we think the first two reasons are strong enough.
